The problem
Intervention: International Guide for Monitoring Child Development (GMCD) early intervention package delivered by frontline workers using digital mobile device interface, providing individualised intervention plans for young children and families
Who it was tested with: Children aged 0-24 months in rural India and Guatemala (624 children across 52 clusters).
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
"Using a cluster-randomised design, 624 children aged 0-24 months in 52 clusters (26 in India, 26 in Guatemala) will be assigned to usual care or the GMCD intervention plus usual care delivered by frontline workers for 12 months." This describes a randomised controlled trial design suitable for generating experimental-level evidence, though results are not yet available.
This is a protocol paper only; no trial results are available. The effectiveness of the intervention cannot be determined from this document alone.
